That happens sometimes. Sometimes they never pay you, sometimes they pay you late. Most of the time it doesn't matter that much: after some early mistakes, we've learned not to put too many gross-revenue eggs in one client basket. -But this time it does matter: we finished our work with this company 6 months ago, and they still owe us **$133,500** dollars.

For anyone keeping track at home, that's almost a full year's salary at Apsis. I'm not writing this to complain. I'm also not writing it to call them out by name (yet).
